Parts Reservation
Transform Future Demand into Guaranteed Success
Is your dealership struggling to manage future demand, leading to lost sales, emergency sourcing, and an inaccurate view of your true available inventory? If so, the Parts Reservation application from FDC Solutions can transform how you manage customer orders for future needs.
Core Benefits
Avoid Backorders
Retain parts specifically for planned repairs to eliminate last-minute sourcing fees.
Improve Fulfillment
Automatically convert reservations to orders on the Need-by Date (NBD) to boost "full-fill" metrics.
Minimize Downtime
Support both Counter and Shop sales to get customers back to work faster.
Precision Inventory Control: Eliminating "Phantom Inventory"
The Parts Reservation application solves the problem of "phantom inventory" by fundamentally changing how DBS/DBSi tracks stock.
Shadow Reservation Logic
The application moves reserved quantities from "on-hand" into a dedicated shadow reservation file.
Real-Time Stock Clarity
Enhanced DBS/DBSi Parts Availability screens (DSPPCAVL) display "Reserved Quantity" and "Available for Sale Quantity," ensuring counter staff only commit stock truly available for immediate sale.
Seamless Bin and Physical Counts
Your bin count and physical inventory processes are updated to account for reserved stock as part of the total bin quantity, ensuring accuracy without manual reconciliations.
Automated Efficiency: The "Never-Ending Process" (NEP)
Stop manual tracking with our built-in NEP job, which runs on your schedule to:
Auto-Fill Reservations
As soon as new parts are received into inventory, the NEP identifies outstanding reservations and automatically moves quantities into the shadow file.
Location Syncing
Automatically updates shadow file locations if a part is moved within the warehouse.
Strategic Sourcing and Integration
The Parts Reservation application gives you precise control over future inventory.
Flexible Shop Integration
Assign reservations directly to specific DBS/DBSi Work Orders, Segments, Operations, and even Employee numbers for a seamless transition from reservation to service.
Immediate Conversion
